Reading List

Filed under: Sorta Daily, reading list — Lily at 8:59 am on Saturday, January 21, 2006

Reading is one of my favorite things to do.  Unfortunately, I rarely find I have time to read as much as I like, but usually if I have a book to read, I make the time.  By the time Christmas rolled through here last year, I was thirstly for some new reading.  So I took one of my gift certificates and a big chunk of change and got the following:

  1. The Beauty Myth
  2. The War on Choice
  3. Bitch
  4. By the Color of Our Skin
  5. The World According to Mimi Smartypants
  6. Slut!

My hope is to finish reading these by the end of March, where I’ll then buy another slew of books and continue that pattern.  I’ll be giving my opinions here as I finish each one so if you’re interested I’m creating a new category for it.

The Beauty Myth is a really good book. It was hard to read because made me so angry. When I was reading that book, I started to understand the raging feminists who don’t shave, or wear make-up.

I had to read that book a few pages at a time so I would get too irate.

It was awesome though.

I hope you enjoy it!

Krista - I haven’t started that one yet, but I know what you mean. I feel sort of the same way about ‘By the Color of Our Skin’ so far. I don’t kid myself that racism isn’t alive and well today - it’s just so hard to read and accept just how much that is true.
